US Corporates are represented by the Bloomberg US Credit Corporate 5-7 Year Index; US Treasuries are represented by the Bloomberg US Treasury 5-7 Index for 2018-2021 and 2023, the Bloomberg US Treasury 4-7 Year Index from 2014-2017 and the Bloomberg US Treasury 3-7 Year Index for 2022. US Municipals are represented by the Bloomberg Municipal Index 15-year Index for 2021, the Bloomberg Municipal Index 10-year Index for 2019-2020 and 2023, the Bloomberg Municipal Index 7-year Index for 2017-2018, 2014, 2022 and the Bloomberg Municipal Index for 2015-2016. This analysis highlights comparable duration sectors over each period. As the durations of those sectors change, so do the indices used for the analysis. Tax rate used: 43.4% for 2014-2017 and 40.8% for 2018-2023. The tax rates include the net investment income tax. Returns do not reflect state and/or local taxes, nor do they reflect the AMT. Other effective tax rates would have achieved different results. Actual results will vary. Duration between indices within each period is within 0.5 years of one another. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of an investment’s price to nominal interest-rate movement.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, not net asset value (NAV). Total returns are calculated using the daily 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns an investor would receive if they traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions apply and will reduce returns.

Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's shares may fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings which may in-turn fluctuate due to market and economic conditions. The Fund's share price may fluctuate due to changes in the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange. The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • The risks associated with mortgage-related and asset-backed securities include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, liquidity, default and extension risk. • The purchase of securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market can result in higher portfolio turnover and related expenses as well as price and counterparty risk. • Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. • Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions; these risks may be magnified if the Fund focuses its assets in municipal securities of issuers in a few select states. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, regulatory, and counterparty risk. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. • In certain instances, unlike other ETFs, the Fund may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than in-kind, which may make the Fund less tax-efficient and incur more fees than an ETF that primarily or wholly effects creations and redemptions in-kind. • The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs and an investor's tax liability. • Financially material environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) characteristics are one of several factors that may be considered. The Fund may perform differently from funds that do not integrate ESG into their analysis.

IOPV, or Indicative Optimized Portfolio Value, is a calculation disseminated by the stock exchange that approximates the Fund's NAV every fifteen seconds throughout the trading day.
Premium/discount reflects the relationship between an ETF's market price and its net asset value (NAV). Because ETFs are traded on an exchange, their market prices are in part driven by supply and demand dynamics. The ETF's market price may be above its NAV (reflecting a premium) or below its NAV (reflecting a discount).
